This will eventually put a strain on the good leg.

Another method is use crutches on one side (side opposite of handrail side), and other hand on hand rail to feel more secure. Still going up first with the good leg, then bring crutch/cane and bad leg up to that step, rinse and repeat. Same going down, crutch/cane on opposite side of hand rail, holding and bracing with handrail and good leg, carefully place cane/crutch down a step first with bad leg, then bring good leg down to that step, rinse and repeat.

Tako ja idem, sigurnije mi je. Jednom rukom sa štakom, a drugom se držim za rukohvat

This is what is keeping he from scheduling surgery. I don't have enough upper body strength to hop on one leg. I can't even use crutches really, I got injured in the first place because I'd had a botched shoulder surgery and a neck surgery. 😢

If I were you I would slide up and down one stair at a time on my behind.

Wheelchair? If your home isn't wheelchair accessible I'd definitely try to have a friend/family member help.

I've tried.... I can't do it

I didn’t even try. I just stay at home for 2 weeks. I had stable ankle fracture

This is the most dangerous method unless you're only talking about a couple of steps. A much safer way to do this is to use the crutch under one arm and use the handrail with the other arm, that's what physio showed me anyway. I put both crutches under the same arm, so I had them both at the top, but used the handrail with the other. Much less chance of falling backwards. Those crutches look too long as well.

No good for deep/steep steps though 🙈

That was my problem after a severe complex ankle fracture and surgery, plus I kept hitting my bad foot on the step because it was too steep and I couldn’t lift my foot high enough. So I sit on my butt for steep stairs rain or shine and scoot up. I’d rather be wet than back in the hospital!

The crutches are supposed to be like 3 inches away from your armpit so that you don’t need the pads. Hope this helps

I got the hang of going up the stairs but I have my husband carry me down the stairs lol. I just get so nervous of falling and hurting myself again

@乐乐-x6n Ай бұрын

Yes is so hard I didn’t dare

@m.taylor Ай бұрын

I slid up and down the stairs on my behind, and if the stairs are dusty I would tie an apron backwards around my waist so it protects my pants from dirt.
